    His epitaph, which he composed, read:

    Ubi Saeva Indignatio

    Ulterius

    Cor Lacerare Nequit

    Abi Viator

    Et Imitare Si Poteris

    Strenuum Pro Virili

    Libertatis Vindicatorem

    Or, "He has gone where fierce indignation can lacerate his heart no more-- depart wayfarer, and imitate if you are able one who to the utmost strenously championed liberty."

    He almost sounds like an apostate, eh? ;-)

    How true to form, even in death he challenges you to think.
